The result is personal anaphora is in greater occurrences than another with the percentage 23,4 %, and the lowest percentage is demonstrative anaphora with the percentage 9,5 %. Learn the reference is important to improve student writing skill, it helps the writer and the reader understanding the production and interpretation utterance. So the researcher suggests the next researcher to discuss the kinds of references such as reference anaphora and cataphora in deixis. Those are important. To helps understanding the meaning of an utterance of something. Keywords: References, The Theory of Everything movie.

Introduction Richards (1992:111) summarize what analysis deals with; how the choice of articles, , and tenses affects the structure of the discourse; the relationship between utterances in a discourse; the moves made by the speakers to introduce a new topic, change the topic, or assert a higher role relationship to the participants. Paltridge approved that discourse analysis is the analysis of language in use (Paltridge, 2000:4) and it is also consider the relationship between language and the in which it is used and are concerned with the description and analysis of both spoken and written interactions (McCarthy, 1991 in Paltridge, 2000:4). In the first place to analyze discourse is drawing a distinction between analyses of spoken discourse, which is sometimes called “conversational analysis” and analysis of written discourse, which is sometimes called “text ”. A text as a whole must exhibit the related, but distinguishable properties of cohesion and coherence (Lyons, 1981:198). The term of discourse analysis have meaning or study of a language within text, utterances or conversation (Yule, 2010). Yule (1996) asserts that discourse structure is very important. It focuses on the main elements that can form a well-stretched text. For this study purposes, these grammatical links can be classified under three broad types: reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction, lexical cohesion Halliday and Hasan (1976). Reference is regarded by Halliday and Hasan (1976: 31) as the specific nature of the information that is signaled for retrieval. Halliday and Hassan (1976) point out that reference features can not be semantically interpreted without referring to some other features in the text. Based on the place of reference, the interpretation of reference can be divided into endophora (textual) and exophoric (situational) reference. There are two kinds of endophoric relations: anaphora and cataphora (Halliday and Hasan, 1976: 17).

Research Method The type of this research is descriptive qualitative research, in which the method are used to collects the data, classifies and analyzes them, and then draw the conclusion from the analyzed data. The qualitative research related with synthesize the information and describe it clearly. In collecting data, the writer uses document method. The steps of collecting data are as follows: (1) Watching the original movie of The Theory of Everything. (2) Reading the script of The Theory of Everything movie. (3) Selecting and collecting the data. (4) Classifying the the types of personal references in The Theory of Everything movie manuscript by employing the elements of references. (5) Coding the data. In 3 technique of

analyzing data, the writer conducts the data analysis with the following procedures: (1) Finding the types of the references used in The Theory of Everything movie manuscript (2) Drawing the conclusion and suggestion based on the data analysis.

Finding The following are those findings drawn from data analysis. Table 1. The types of references No The elements Types of references 1. − You'd better decide on your Comparative, . Endophoric − as you embark on your separate doctoral journeys − each more impregnable than the last. 2. − I'm serious... they'll boot you out. Exophoric − did they accept you? − morning of their exam, − Who is that guy? − this so illegible i'm not quite sure how wrong it is 3. − I applied for a job. Well, it's a Personal, anaphoric back-up plan, − he's strange, − What's a cosmologist? It's a kind of religion. − I told them that if they gave me a 2nd class degree i'd stay with them and do my research at oxford, but if they gave me the 1st i needed to get into cambridge, then they'd never have to see me again. 4. − Unfortunately, that I'll never Demonstrative, know. anaphoric − That is the question − each more impregnable than the last. − This is going to hospitalize me. − Train timetables?

Discussion

Based on the place of reference, the interpretation of reference can be divided into endophoric (textual) and exophoric (situational) reference (Halliday and Hasan, 1976: 33). Halliday and Hasan (1976: 37) also said that anaphoric and cataphoric references use personal reference or pronominal reference, demonstrative reference and comparative reference. Comparative reference is indirect references by means of identity or similarity (Halliday and Hasan, 1976:37). The significance of the exophoric potential is that, in instances where the key to the interpretation is not ready to hand, in text or situation, the hearer or reader constructs a context of situation in order to supply it for himself (Halliday, 1976). Anaphoric reference is a form of and means that a reference item points back to something that has gone before (Schubert, 2008:33). Demonstrative reference is reference by means of location, on a scale of proximity (Halliday and Hasan, 1976: 37).

Conclusion

Depend on the research finding and discussions, the conclusions of this study are shown, personal anaphora is the one which reached great level than another, means it was used by 52 times or (23,4%), second level used 50 times or (22.5%) , third level used 45 times or (20,3%), fourth level used 32 times or (14,4%), fifth level used 22 times or (9,9%) and the sixth used 21 times or (9,5%).
